Request for Proposals: Patient Portal Development
RFP Release Date: May 15, 2013
Proposals Due: June 5, 2013 (11:59pm EDT)
Email all Correspondence to: rfpcontact@nyehealth.org
As the healthcare market evolves and patients increasingly become decision-making healthcare consumers, it is important to provide the 19.5 million patients across New York State with access to as much information about their health as possible. Coupled with the need for consent management, access audit reporting, and increased patient provider communication, the development of a patient portal for New Yorkers is a necessary step towards empowering patients and allowing them to take an active role in managing their health.
New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC) is seeking a vendor to develop a patient portal that is connected to the Statewide Health Information Network for New York (SHIN-NY). This portal will eventually be available to patients across New York State and will be used by patients to view their health records, manage access to their health records, see who has looked at their records and communicate with their providers.
This Request for Proposals (RFP) sets forth the development requirements and priorities for portal development. Vendor proposals should provide a narrative that covers the ability to meet all of the detailed requirements including specifics of the approach taken where appropriate. Submission of screen mockups and examples of implementation specifics are encouraged where appropriate.

Use of the Statewide Health Information Network of New York (SHIN-NY) is built on a foundation of trust that all participants are following policies, procedures, and technical specifications that have been formally agreed upon and adopted as Statewide Policy Guidance. The SHIN-NY’s trust framework is transitioning into a new phase framed by forthcoming regulations from the NYS DOH that will set forth roles, relationships, and standards of participation in the SHIN-NY. As an extension of the regulations, a certification program will be created to qualify entities to participate in the SHIN-NY and exchange data with other qualified entities. The criteria for participation in the SHIN-NY (hereafter referred to as Certification Criteria), are currently in development based on input from stakeholders through a statewide collaborative process.
In support of the new certification process, the New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC) seeks a Certification Body that will:
(1) work with NYeC, NYS DoH and SHIN-NY stakeholders to finalize the Certification Criteria under which entities will be qualified to exchange data through the SHIN-NY, and (2) develop and conduct a reoccurring certification and monitoring process for entities that seek to participate in the exchange of data that conforms to the Certification Criteria and other applicable SHIN-NY specifications, procedures, and policies.
This Request for Proposals (RFP) sets forth the parameters of services that will be expected of the Certification Body that will conduct certification, monitoring, and re-certification over a five year period beginning September 2013.

To support the realization of an interoperable New York, NYeC issues this RFP to obtain proposals from the EHR vendor community for the procurement of interfaces in bulk on behalf of the providers of New York State. NYeC envisions partnership with the EHR vendor community to identify providers interested in connecting to the SHIN-NY, the development of the interface from their EHR to the SHIN-NY, to support price transparency and to implement the technical specifications ratified by the EHR|HIE Interoperability WG via the approach designated by that stakeholder group. Upon review of the submitted proposals NYeC will invite several vendors to participate in this unique opportunity to support the foundation of data exchange in New York State.

Request for Proposals: NYeC RFP – Exemplar HIE Governance for EHR|HIE Interoperability Workgroup
RFP Release Date: 4/9/2013
Proposals Due: 4/17/2013 (4:00pm EDT)
Email all Correspondence to: rfpcontact@nyehealth.org
NYeC responded to the RFP for the Exemplar HIE Governance Program created by ONC on behalf of the EHR|HIE Interoperability Workgroup. The Exemplar HIE Governance Program allows the ONC to work collaboratively with entities already involved in governance of health information exchange, encouraging the continued development and adoption of policies, interoperability requirements, and business practices that will increase the ease of electronic health information exchange, reduce implementation costs, and assure the privacy and security of data being exchanged. This work will support and advance the efforts of existing governance entities which will benefit consumers and providers by allowing health information to flow securely between unaffiliated healthcare organizations.
ONC awarded the Exemplar HIE Governance Program Grant to NYeC on behalf of the EHR|HIE Interoperability Workgroup. The cooperative agreement will allow the workgroup to continue its efforts in developing robust implementation specifications for ‘plug and play’ interoperability. The workgroup will address the implementation challenges facing the exchange of health information including patient matching and querying provider directories. These learnings will translate into stronger implementation specifications and will support, strengthen, and advance existing ONC efforts to improve the standards for Direct Messaging and Query-based exchange. The purpose of this RFP is to find a consultant who will work with the EHR/HIE Interoperability Workgroup to carry out the specific objectives of this grant.

Through this RFP, NYeC seeks to expand the number of Implementation Agents who will also perform the outreach functions which were previously performed by Outreach Agents under the REC model. NYeC will deploy these agents to support the two new adoption and implementation programs 1) HEAL 22 for Behavioral Health providers and 2) REC Medicaid Specialists Expansion program. NYeC will give preference to proposals that offer breadth of service for outreach and implementation through in-house expertise or strategic alliances.
This RFP is open to all qualified applicants for engagement throughout New York State. NYeC has identified several priority service counties. Agents that have the capacity to service the following priority counties are in particular demand. Having this capacity does not guarantee an applicant’s selection as a finalist; however it identifies areas that offer great opportunity for assigned Agents to deliver service to these eligible providers.
Following are the priority service counties:
Broome, Chemung, Chemungo, Delaware, Dutchess, Essex, Franklin, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk, Sullivan, Tioga, Tompkins, Ulster, Westchester.
Additionally applicants that have a strong presence within a sub-medical specialty service group will be given strong consideration.
